1. How long have you been playing FINAL FANTASY XI and what is your highest level job?
I started shortly before Easter 2004 on the PS2. My highest job currently is Black Mage @ 70
2. Where do you live and are you willing to travel out of state to attend live events?
I live in the Detroit, Michigan area. I would be willing to travel out of state to attend live events if they were closer. Plane tickets are well outside my budget.
3. What time of the year would you prefer live events to be held? How many days would you like them to be?
Summer is perfect for me. 2 days is generally best for an event with this much focus on one thing. Anime/game conventions can get away with 3-4 days due to the sheer volume of content.
4. Did you attend Fan Festival 2008? If so, what did you think? If not, please let us know what you thought of the event.
I did not attend. It felt a little bit like reheated VanaFest leftovers. I was excited going into the weekend of Fan Festival, only to be partly disappointed in the amount of new information received.
5. What kind of content would you like to see in upcoming live events?
-The Live Quest for starters. I was disappointed to hear they dropped it.
-A wider variety of panels. Anime cons are notorious for having a plethora of panels to attend. Maybe let a few of the big endgame sites have a panel or 2 to discuss endgame content, like a panel dedicated to Salvage. Live demonstrations in these panels would be awesome (FFXI on a Projector IS cool to look at.)
-Keep the costume and art contests.
-Dev. Team Q&A was lacking. More questions answered would be appreciated as opposed to having to read them on places like the "Creators Blog Z."
-Ballista and Brenner tournaments. It might not appeal to everybody, but it'll be something to do @ the event.
-Keep the Special BC fights.
-New content demonstrations. Having MMM available to play was a boon.
